Leukemia is a cancer of the blood. Leukemia begins when normal blood cells change and grow uncontrollably. Blood cells (including red cells that carry oxygen, white cells that fight infection and platelets that cause blood to clot) are produced in the bone marrow, the spongy tissue inside the larger bones in the body.

She is a member of the laboratory of Ali Shilatifard, PhD, Robert Francis Furchgott Professor and Chair, Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Genetics; Director, Simpson Querrey Center for Epigenetics; and Professor of Pediatrics. She will present her research in September at the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Meeting: Epigenetics.

Following many years of dedicated service to the pursuit of discovery at the Stowers Institute, both Ali Shilatifard, PhD, and Rong Li, PhD, were selected for prestigious academic leadership positions at distinguished universities. Beginning last fall, the Shilatifard Lab began transitioning to Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, where Shilatifard had been.

ChemCore offers computational, medicinal and synthetic chemistry services to support drug discovery research at Northwestern and externally. ChemCore’s dedicated staff of medicinal and computational chemists design and synthesize novel small molecules that are suitable for therapeutic development for collaborative projects with physicians and faculty scientists.

Ali Shilatifard, PhD, Northwestern University. Shilatifard and colleagues have focused on understanding the role of Polycomb and Trithorax group proteins as chromatin-modifying factors key in repressed or active gene expression states. An example of developmental chromatin regulation is the balanced activities of the Polycomb group proteins within the Polycomb repressive complexes 1 and 2.

Northwestern University professor and epigeneticist Ali Shilatifard's journey — he navigated his way from post-revolution Iran as a teenager — and research endeavors led him to Northwestern, where he pursues promising pathways in the treatment of leukemia.

Now, in paper featured on the cover of Molecular Cell, Shilatifard and first author Kevin Liang, PhD, a graduate student in Shilatifard’s lab, disproved that longstanding theory. They showed that a series of genes within the genome contain paused Pol II during mitosis. When these genes transcribe at the beginning of mitosis, Pol II is.

Part of my PhD work was to perform genetic screens to identify cell death regulators inDrosophila. One of the identified candidates turned out also to play a role in the regulation of chromatin. To further expand my experience in biochemical research I joined the lab of Ali Shilatifard in Kansas City. My work here is focused on better.
